Default YOu have been granted command of a new submarine!

Was thinking i have gotten a type VIIB, i was wrong, got a type VIIC in January 1940, WITH the 2 AA decks.

Whats with that? the first VIIC wasent sent to the atlantic before 1941 i think.

The first VIIC was U-69, comissioned in November of 1940.

A cursory glance at uboat.net tells you that. Nice going, Ubi

Ridiculous , too fast !! even for a U.S fleet boat is a very fast speed.



The only effect must be less break downs , not warp engines

I think from the grin () that he was making a joke. You guys are so angry you're not even thinking.

It's a dumbed down arcade SubPG. Historical accuracy in any form under those circumstances simply doesn't fit the profile and vision Ubi had of this "action adventure" game.

I think that was overwhelmingly apparent when they didn't bother to include a compass on a naval simlulation.

"Compass? Action adventure doesn't need no steenkin' compass...!"

My sentiments exactly Steve. We need to expend our energy to fix it.

Yeah, if you do the first two tonnage missions, you're expected to get 150,000 GRT sunk within the first 9 months of the war. Otto Kretschmer only got 208,954 GRT during the entire war (to be fair that was Aug '39 - May '41).
